    anyone ever bodysurfed with one? i am not spending $40 plus on a handplane. i wonder if this is effective. actually, who cares, i'm gonna try it anyway.

    I've still got one of the original plastic "hand planes" from back when they were called "hand guns". I got it for free from a company trying to drum up interest. Pretty fun. I think a lunch tray would be hard to grip.

    never used one in the water, but if you have a a front wheel drive car get two from mcdonalds or somewhere and drive the back tires onto them, pull the parking brake and ensue fun parking like spinning and donuts

    handplanes cost all of nothing to make yourself... I used a skateboard deck I broke in half and shaped it down to a plane with concave that lifts you out of water when you get going. used a old leash tat broke as the handle.. screwed it to the board with shallow screws. Only broke it out a few times but do remmeber having a blast with it one day with pounding clean shorebreak.

    Make one...itseasyyyy

    its harder to do it than it looks, the tray is a bit awkward, but a few session it gets a lil easier

    I started off with a broken skateboard deck too. deff. the way to go. Eventually I went ahead and dropped the bucks on one though. No need to get an expensive one. Grab one off amazon or something.

    I remember back in the day seeing Eric Anderson (former boogie God of the late 80s early 90s) at the 14 St Pier in VB doing like 360's and sht on a Micky D's tray he got at the restaurant right there. If you don't weight much it's easy and fun.

    My dad went to high school in Hawaii and told me they used to take them from the McDonalds and use them for bodysurfing

    they still do. McD is brown, while Zippy's is bright blue. gotta get a tray quiver from all the fast food places

    and wet monster, that is awesome, only 29$? I better get 2 or 3!

    and to the op, if you are curious about rides, try it all out, I would swipe a tray immediately and try it, and then work on the handplane. the trays are not easy.

    so many variations on the handplane

    trays are easy to use. so much more surface area to plane on. you use your shoulders, back hand, and feet to steer. if you ain't trayin, you ain't playin.

    Thought he may be the next Domke. Let's keep an eye on him.

    btw, great posts by salt and MIS. Tray quiver. Unreal.
